"[Robin] is a fantastic listener and is able to engage participants across differences in a way that helps the various voices to be heard and valued.

What is your coaching philosophy?

Using an empowerment model, I help clients identify what they have to offer the marketplace and where in the world of work they might be most valued and satisfied.
Each person has unique contributions that he or she can offer in the workplace. People have experience, talents, skills and fields of knowledge that they have developed throughout their lifetimes whether on the job, in school, at home or in volunteer positions. Coaching provides time for reflection and discovery. It also provides time for clarification of work life/ balance goals and personal as well as professional values. I use proven models of career exploration such as "The What Color is Your Parachute" model by Richard N. Bolles and SDS Self-Directed SEARCH model by John L Holland, PhD. I am passionate about offering career development services. I help individuals define their purpose, set goals and act using proven coaching facilitation techniques.
